Warnings
This is not a contractual document. In the best interest of its customers and with the
aim of improving performance, OLDHAM reserves the right to alter the technical features of its equipment without prior notice.
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE THE FIRST USAGE:
these instructions should be read by all persons who have or will have responsibility for the use, maintenance, or repair of the instrument.
This instrument shall only be deemed to be in conformance with the published
performance if used, maintained, and repaired in accordance with the instructions of OLDHAM, by OLDHAM personnel, or by personnel authorized by OLDHAM.
Important Information
The modification of the material and the use of parts of an unspecified origin shall
entail the cancellation of any form of warranty.
The use of the unit has been projected for the applications specified in the technical
characteristics. Exceeding the indicated values cannot in any case be authorized.
Catalytic sensors are susceptible to poisoning by traces of several substances. This
leads to an inhibition which can be permanent or temporary depending on the contaminant, the concentration of the contaminant, the duration of exposure to the contaminant.
Poisoning may result from exposure to substances as:
silicones (e.g. waterproofing, adhesives, release agents, special oils and greases,
certain medical products, commercial cleaning agents) tetraethyl lead (e.g. leaded petrol, particularly aviation petrol ‘Avgas’) sulfur compounds (sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide) halogenated compounds (R134a, HFO, etc.) organo-phosphorus compounds (e.g. herbicides, insecticides, and phosphate
esters in fireproof hydraulic fluids
Oldham recommends regular testing of fixed gas detection installations (read
Chapter 4 | Preventive maintenance).
Warranty
Under normal conditions of use and on return to the factory, parts and workmanship
are guaranteed for 2 years, excluding consumables such as sensors, filters, etc.
Limitation of Liability

Chapter 1 | Overview
Purpose
OLCT 60 gas detectors are 4-20mA and 3-wire transmitters designed for measuring combustible and toxic gases as well as oxygen.
OLCT 60 is available in two versions:
Flameproof certified enclosure along with flameproof certified sensor block. This
version is listed as OLCT 60d. Flameproof certified enclosure along with intrinsically safe certified sensor block.
This version is available for electrochemical sensors only. This version is listed as
OLCT 60id.
Available versions are listed below.
OLCT 60d
OLCT 60id
Catalytic sensor
Electrochemical sensor
XPIR Infrared sensor
Table 1: Comparison of OLCT 60 detectors
Each version features two options:
OLCT 60 version with on-board sensor. The sensor can either be flameproof or
intrinsically safe certified depending on the version of the detector. OLCT 60D version with remote sensor. The sensor can either be flameproof or
intrinsically safe certified depending on the version of the detector.

(*) FLP stands for flameproof, IS stands for intrinsically safe. The IS version is distinguished - among other features - by the color of its housing which is blue. FLP versions are unpainted stainless steel.
Operating principle
The sensor converts the target gas into current. The current value is amplified, temperature compensated, linearized, and converted to a 4-20 mA signal proportional to the gas concentration and then conveyed through a connecting cable to a centralization system (gas controller or PLC).
Sensor type depends on the gas to be detected and the version of OLCT 60 as shown in Table 1: Comparison of OLCT 60 detectors on page 9.

Chapter 2 | Installation
Please read the guidelines on the installation, use and maintenance of detectors for detection of flammable gases and oxygen (standard EN/IEC 60079-29-2) and toxic gases (standard EN 45544-4).
Regulations and conditions of use
The installation will be done according to current standards for installation in
explosive areas especially regulations IEC/EN 60079-14 and IEC/EN 60079-17 (current editions) or according to other national standards.
The equipment is authorized for use in Zones 1, 2, 21 and 22 and is certified for
ambient temperatures from -20 °C to + 60 °C. Note that this is not the operating temperature which, by the way, is sensor dependent.
Regarding the OLCT 60D-id version, the remote sensor can be used in zones 0, 1,
2, 20, 21 and 22. The transmitter itself is for use in zones 1, 2, 21 and 22 only.
The detector must always be in contact with the ambient air. Thus:
- Do not cover the sensor,
- Do not paint the sensor,
- Avoid dust deposits.
Necessary equipment
• Complete detector assembly
• Cable
• Tools
• Fixing hardware
• Multimeter (intrinsically safe certified when needed)
Location of the detector
Depending on the density of the gas to be detected or the application, the detector shall be positioned at ground level, or on the ceiling at the same height as the airflow, or near air extraction ducts. Heavy gases may be detected at the ground level, while light gases will be found at ceiling height. Gas densities are found on page 48.

User manual
Detector positioning
All versions excluding OLCT IR
The OLCT 60 will be installed with the sensor pointing downwards. Any tilt of more than 45° from the vertical will lead to an inaccurate measurement.
Fixing the enclosure will be performed by using 2 x M6 screws and the appropriate plugs for the supporting material. A special holder is available for mounting the detector on the ceiling (see chapter Accessories).

Table 2: Maximum distance cable (with 24 Vcc at controller terminals)
The cable must be shielded to reduce the influence of electrical and radio-frequency interference. A cable such as AFNOR M 87-202-01-IT-15-EG-FA (Nexans) may be used. It shall be selected according to the type of detector and in accordance with the table shown hereinabove. Here are some more examples of suitable cables:
Safe area: CNOMO FRN05 VC4V5-F ATEX zone: GEVELYON (U 1000RHC1) ATEX zone: GVCSTV RH (U 1000) ATEX zone: xx-xx-09/15- EG-SF or EG-FA or EG-PF (U 300 compatible with M87202).
The maximum permissible length will depend on the cross-section of the cable conductors (see table) and on the minimum admissible supply voltage at the detector terminals.
2 - Installation
23
Cable connection
Turn off the line
On the controller:
1. Inhibit any alarms to prevent false alarms during operation.
2. Switch off the power supply to the detector.
Opening of the detector
Loosen the 4mm hex screw (rep.1) locking the cover before removing the detector cover.
032
Figure 16: Locking screw of the cover
Cable preparation
The cable will be supplied from the controller at the measurement point. The passage, support, and protection of the cable shall be done according to best practice.
Cable entry
It is essential to follow the instructions given by the manufacturer of the cable gland and to connect the shielding properly. Cable-gland or adaptor shall be M25 x 1.5 and flameproof certified.
